Somali-born US congresswoman Ilhan Omar has announced the death of her father with Covid-19.
Ms Omar and her father, Nur Mohamed, came to the US as refugees in 1995 during Somalia's civil war. She is one of the first two Muslim women elected to Congress.

Surely we belong to God and to him shall we return.
It is with tremendous sadness and pain to say goodbye to my father, Nur Omar Mohamed. No words can describe what he meant to me and all who knew and loved him.
